Cycling blows your rigorous everyday commute out of the water. It lets you get outdoors and connect with the environment. You can feel the breeze and the sun on your face . That’s what makes people wonder whether these bikes are any good, or just hyped to the heavens. BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. You never have to warehouse anything and you never touch the product. All your effort and labor is in building a great website and website presence, attracting a customer base and building up a solid reputation, making deals with the manufacturers , and ensuring that you have great customer service. And yes, even when LBS mechs go to the local walmart to build bikes up for christmas, they're bringing an impact driver and getting paid per piece...but at least the parts will probably be on there pointing the right way, and tightened down. The Tern BYB S11 is one of the best folding hybrids around. It stands 32” tall & 14” wide, weighing a lightweight 29 lbs. But when you fold it down, the double-folding mechanism kicks-in shrinking it into a third of its original size. On the other hand, if you seek a reliable and stable ride for city commutes, there’s no better choice than a hyper bike. Hyper Bikes are lightweight and feature moderately good components. The frame, the tires, the suspensions or the lack of it, are all designed purely for short commutes on reasonably smooth trails. The Liv Alight 2 Disc is the successor to the Alight 1 Disc, Liv’s bestselling hybrid bike for city commute. The Alight 2 Disc is revamped from the ground up and features more comfort, better stability and improved ergonomics, which make for a comfortable ride. The idea of buying one and upgrading seems lackluster compared to buying a frame and building it correctly. Worth noting there's nothing on their website indicating the headset standard, so rather hard to research into something that does not seem to be openly published. I see you've taken a more in depth look at this garbage, so I'll trust you're correct on the standards. Go buy your garbage and enjoy it I suppose. Like rockshox they offer entry level garbage on up... Their air spring forks are comparable to RS models like the XC32s, Judy Golds and Recon models.
